Primary

Some readers have expressed concern over the lack of color in my ensembles, as of late. It didn’t even occur to me until it was pointed out! I guess I have been gravitating toward more muted tones; I tend to go through phases. I felt like being very colorful, so I threw on some primary hues and MAC Russian Red lipstick. I always feel a little silly when I buy Forever 21 and H&M stuff second hand, but I really liked that this could be worn as a dress or as a vest, and that it was under $10.

One thing can be said about wearing bright colors: it makes it almost impossible to be in a bad mood!

I love the red lipstick too! It completes the look. And, I love how creative you got by wearing a dress as a vest. Our designers at kmartdesign.com are always saying to wear things differently and in unexpected ways.

I think you look great no matter what you wear! From what I've seen you do a great mix of everything from neutrals, to mixing in color, to darker contrasts etc. Don't change anything! Although this is an inspiring look for me. I rarely wear brights – never brave enough.

Aw, Keiko, this outfit is adorable. Primary colors are so fun, and I love that bright satchel. Now you've got me thinking of gettin my primary colors on!And as always your make-up and hair are stunning.

I totally agree – sometimes when I feel down I intentionally wear more colors to lift myself up. (Especially in winter.) Love the shot with yellow bag against blue skirt – those colors work together so good!
